Stumbled on this by accident! I’m thinking about trying photography and your photos are really inspiring.

Great book!! I’m so intrigued by the way the iris works. The way you captured the details is amazing!

Interesting project, especially as one gets little idea of gender from the eye itself. Nicely presented.

Couple of technical points (as you’re sharing workflow): Looks like you’re actually using the canon 70-300 DO lens (at least in the picture you show here). I’ve found that it softens up quite a bit if you put filters on the front (even a simple UV). Might want to try extension tubes instead of the 500D for sharper results.

On the hiraloam sharpening (High radium, low amount) that you use for contrast enhancement – I find it’s generally betetr to apply before the low radius sharpeing rather than after, can help reduce artefacts.

Nice job on the SoFoBoMo website, btw.

What a fascinating project and beautifully executed. It was particularly generous of you to share so much about your technique for shooting and editing. Thanks and congratulations. I am looking forward to your next project.
